Fine Points of Cut
System Explained
(Specially contributed />y M. McKtlvey,
1931.) v
There ar* many misunderstandings
about the cut system, and these should V
cleared up at the beginning of the year.
First, students' are all >wed fifteen cuts
a semester. "When family circumstances
necessitate the absence of a student, it
is not always possible that cuts be ex-
cused. Illness, death in the immediate
family, or weddings in' the immediate
family are the only reasons for absences
being excused�while absences for legal
l -oceedings. etc.. should be planned for
in advance and cuts saved for such emer-
gencies" All excuses are obtained from
tHt Dean.
A student taking excess cuts up to and
including two and two-thirds shall be
placed on Student Probation. That is.
the number of excess etits up to and in-
cluding one shall be quadrupled and de-
ducted from the student's next semester's
cuts. The number of excess cuts from
one through two and two-thirds shall
V tripled and deducted. A student over-
cutting more than two and two-thirds is>
recommended for Senate Probation, and
is allowed no cuts for the next semester.
A student -taking more than twenty-five
cuts cancels the semester's work. I
Any student who over-cuts because
she does not expect to return to college
the following year "v. ill be asked to leave
immediately rathw than stay and .not
attend classes.
Students are advised' to keep a record
of their own cuts, t>> be compared in
case of error with the cut records of
the Dean's office. Unless this is done,
no' corrections wUf be made after the
cuts are recorded at the end of the month.
Any student who is not in her right
scat when attendance is being taken, or
who is out of the room at that time,
should report immediately after class to
the Dean's office.

The newest coiners to Bryn

the Self-Government Association at
a reception on Saturday night. Oc-
tober 5. jn the (jyninasiuni. Grad-
uate students and freshmen with
their student advisers were wel-
comed by Dean Schenck of the
Graduate School. Mrs. Collins,
Miss Collins. Miss .Gardiner, and
the presidents of the undergraduate
activities, who* formed the receiving
line. The introductions performed,
old- students and itew engaged in
dancing to the music fnrnislied by
Thomas Gardner's "Demons" of
Syncopation." The guests of honor
were excellently taken care of by
.solicitous S. A. girls, who kept their
charges rotating rapidly among a
number of upper classmen. Greet-
ings were exchanged and names
forgotten in quick succession, until
the dancers paused and assembled
on cushions to hear Dean Schenck
and Mrs. Collins
Dean Schenck gave a most en-
tertaining account of the college of
her day, and kept her hearers in
gales of laughter over the pompa-
dours and trains of 1902. Her self-
portrait as a honvsick Freshman
willing to "stick it out till Thanks-
giving" was particularly amusing to
the very jolly Freshmen of 1929.
Miss Stokes then introduced
Mrs. Collins, who up to that time
had been known to the Freshmen
only as vaguely connected with, the
May Day oxen. Mrs. Collins
speedily became a most vivid per-
sonality to all her audience, who
quite took to heart her excellent ad-
vice, and will strive to avoid both
press and police court from now on.
No reckless drivers are expected
to appear, and all post 10:30 activi-
ties will l>e carried on inside the
campus, not opposite Mrs. Collins'
.home.
Punch, ice cream, and cookies
added to the hilarity of the recep-
frcshman week begun. From then on

views, examinations, moral, mental and

those talents which make an educa-' day to Monday. They spoke to the
tional administrator, M. Dutaillis came
to us in the much less august capacity
of an authority and a singer of old
French popular songs.
These songs, which charmed his au-
dience on Friday evening, have arisen
very much as the few native songs of
which we can boast�from the history
and life of the people. To illustrate
this point, M. Dutaillis sang two songs;
freshmen collectively and interviewed
them individually. The health depart-
ment weighed, measured, tapped and
recorded. Mr. Willoughuy searched
for and discovered mutes. The Presi-
dent of the Athletic Association spoke
and gave swimming tests; the Presi-
dent of the Self-Govcrnmcnt Associa-
tion spoke, and gave an examination
on the rules; the President of the Un-
dergraduate Association spoke, and
mca*ured for caps and gowns. The

It is exceedingly difficult to know ex-

Origin "Chansons de Fetes" must al-
ways be included. These songs�one
of them with a" pleasing lilting refrain,
"C'est le Joli Mois de Mai," were sung
on May- Day by the poorer folk to ob-

who lived in the great chateaux.

When to Go
The organization.of the Dean's office
for the year 1929-30 is as follows:
Freshmen and Seniors are to see Miss
Carey on all questions connected with
their academic work. Miss Carey's of-
fice hours are from 8.30 until 10.30
maining an important feature in thc-fcvery morning, and on Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon from 2.30 until
4.00.
Sophomores and Juniors itt To see
for dancing; in Normandy, more vig-| Mjss Gardiner on questi0�s in connec-
orous tunes of a moderately ribald
type. Everywhere in the country there
arose working songs which the peas-
ants used to sing in the fields, often-
tion with their academic work. Miss
Gapdiner's office hours are from 9.30
until 10.30 on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings, and from 12.00
until 1.00 on Thursday and Friday
mornings.*
For all matters not connected with
academic work, such as excuses, or ill�
nesv.tll students should consult Miss
times�as George Sand mentions in
"La Mare au Diable"�to encourage
the animals; in contrast to these are
the songs for soldiers and sailors,
marches or sad dirges; and finally,
there were sentimental love songs or
comic tunes of marital life such as the j arey' _____________

Didn't Learn a Thing
Parade Night�a muddy Wednesday
instead of a pouring Tuesday ceremony
�was a serious occasion for 1932, as
1933 had chosen to emulate 1930 and
hold Out against their Sophomores. The
self-sufficiency of '32 was stumped by
that self-sufficiency of '33.
At 8 o'clock; Wednesday, October
2, the Band exploded under Pembroke
Arch, and Sophomores made their
muddy way to the lower hockey field
(where it was discovered by them that
a small spark may become a bonfire
when encouraged with, kerosene).
1932 was quite worn out from skip-
ping, when flares from the hill dis-
turbed them, and the strange sounds
of arriving Hand. Freshmen and
Parade Song, floated down: "Hcigho,
the Dcrry O, We're '33 by Jingo"!
Then Sophomore arms were pulled
from their sockets, and the ' mob
crashed through to the fire.
What followed exhausted all, inside
of five nfinutes�even the half a dozen
Juniors skipping furiously around the
outer ring. And so it happened that
'32 quieted down and moved uphill,
and '33 quieted -down and moved up-
Jiill, and a short time later there was
sung under the Arch: *----------�
You'll never learn a thingo
Of the. Freshman and their lingo, .
Heigho, the Derry Ol
We're '33, by Jingo!
to which the Sophomores replied with
a cheer.
Miss Park formally opened college
in the Goodhart auditorium, on Tues-
day morning, October 1. The address
had so much of interest to everypne
connected with the college that we
.print the whole text below:
"It is'hard to believe that %nly to-
day the college year begins. A few
weVks ago I was looking at Cape lire-
ton bays set like sapphires in their gray
rocks, or the clear pools of rivers, fill-
ing and emptying with the tide and
watching eagerly,' laid in against its
northern background a life which dis-
appeared from New England fifty

I complicated and leisurely, I thought

Mjss Carey Announces
New Points of Interest
. Comparing herself and Miss Gardi-
ner to the Walrus and the Carpenter,
Miss Carey continued the metaphor in
Chapel on October 3 by bewailing the
amount of sand encountered in- work
in the Dean's office. In an attempt to
clear away as much of the sand as
possible, she repeated and stressed
several important announcements made
elsewhere. Miss Carey's and Miss
Gardiner's officc^JiQurs have been
changed and are pasted on the bulle-
tin boards. Sophomores and Juniors
are to take any difficulties in their work
to Miss Gardiner, but Miss Carey
Stands ready to assist them as .well as
her own Freshmen and Seniors in com-
plications of any other sort.
Some important changes have been
made in the Infirmary rules also. The
new office hours are from 9 to 1 and
2 to 4 every day, Saturday from 9 to
12, and Sundays by appointment. A
new head nurse and night nurse have
been added to the staff, which allows
us to expect increased efficiency from
these new arrangements.
Students are asked to read the re-
vised health rules and general infor-
mation slips, paying special attention
to the italicized sentences. Those reg-
ulations which are most important fol-
low :
Students with colds who are con-
fined to their rooms by the Associate
Physician must stay in quarantine for
the period indicated. Other students
who break the quarantine will be fined
$5.00.
Students who have been directed by
the College Physician to stay in the
Infirmary or to go home, should re
port to the Warden of their hall and

Important Feature of Graduate School..
"The really new figure in that pat-
tern is the Graduate School in its new
hall, with its new olficer�its individu-
ality about to form. In separating
graduate and undergraduate students a
tradition well pedigreed -from Cam- ~~
bridge and Oxford and long cherished
was broken and" in no Bryn Mawr
breast was there a unanimous vote in
favor of the change�or rather perhaps .
our sentiment voted mutinously against
our sense. For undeniably the good
of the Graduate School is the good of
each member of the college, and un-
deniably for the good of the school a
well-considered afFd a resolute step has
been taken. Where all education of
graduate and professional students is
expensive, such education in a small
college is overwhelmingly expensive;
it cabbages a large sum for fellowship
and scholarships (at Hryn Mawr the
income of $700,000); precious class-
room space is devoted to relatively few
students" it sends up the bills for
teaching, for books, for equipment.
"If I should paint Bryn Mawr as
Atlas, the world on his shoulders
would at different times bear different
labels, but sometimes, and especially
when I was in financial depression, it
would be labeled the Graduate School.
And it is true that it is possible now
as it was not once for women to study
in the advanced courses of American
and foreign universities Why, then,
with this year is the Graduate School
made still more important? With hon-
iralltl reaSUII* for giving it up. for

Then Sophomore arms were pulled
from their sockets, and the ' mob
crashed through to the fire.
What followed exhausted all, inside
of five nfinutes�even the half a dozen
Juniors skipping furiously around the
outer ring. And so it happened that

sung under the Arch: *----------�

Miss Park formally opened college
in the Goodhart auditorium, on Tues-
day morning, October 1. The address
had so much of interest to everypne
connected with the college that we
.print the whole text below:
"It is'hard to believe that %nly to-
day the college year begins. A few
weVks ago I was looking at Cape lire-

Mjss Carey Announces
New Points of Interest
. Comparing herself and Miss Gardi-
ner to the Walrus and the Carpenter,
Miss Carey continued the metaphor in
Chapel on October 3 by bewailing the
amount of sand encountered in- work
in the Dean's office. In an attempt to
clear away as much of the sand as
possible, she repeated and stressed
several important announcements made
elsewhere. Miss Carey's and Miss
Gardiner's officc^JiQurs have been
changed and are pasted on the bulle-
tin boards. Sophomores and Juniors
are to take any difficulties in their work
to Miss Gardiner, but Miss Carey
Stands ready to assist them as .well as
her own Freshmen and Seniors in com-
plications of any other sort.
Some important changes have been
made in the Infirmary rules also. The
new office hours are from 9 to 1 and
2 to 4 every day, Saturday from 9 to
12, and Sundays by appointment. A
new head nurse and night nurse have
been added to the staff, which allows
us to expect increased efficiency from
these new arrangements.
Students are asked to read the re-
vised health rules and general infor-
mation slips, paying special attention
to the italicized sentences. Those reg-
ulations which are most important fol-
low :
Students with colds who are con-
fined to their rooms by the Associate
Physician must stay in quarantine for
the period indicated. Other students
who break the quarantine will be fined
$5.00.
Students who have been directed by
the College Physician to stay in the
Infirmary or to go home, should re
port to the Warden of their hall and
the} should also notify her when the)

Important Feature of Graduate School..
"The really new figure in that pat-
tern is the Graduate School in its new
hall, with its new olficer�its individu-
ality about to form. In separating
graduate and undergraduate students a
tradition well pedigreed -from Cam- ~~
bridge and Oxford and long cherished
was broken and" in no Bryn Mawr
breast was there a unanimous vote in
favor of the change�or rather perhaps .
our sentiment voted mutinously against
our sense. For undeniably the good
of the Graduate School is the good of
each member of the college, and un-
deniably for the good of the school a
well-considered afFd a resolute step has
been taken. Where all education of
graduate and professional students is
expensive, such education in a small
college is overwhelmingly expensive;
it cabbages a large sum for fellowship
and scholarships (at Hryn Mawr the
income of $700,000); precious class-
room space is devoted to relatively few
students" it sends up the bills for
teaching, for books, for equipment.
"If I should paint Bryn Mawr as
Atlas, the world on his shoulders
would at different times bear different
labels, but sometimes, and especially
when I was in financial depression, it
would be labeled the Graduate School.
And it is true that it is possible now
as it was not once for women to study
in the advanced courses of American
and foreign universities Why, then,
with this year is the Graduate School
made still more important? With hon-
iralltl reaSUII* for giving it up. for
